Patch for March 3 20262026-03-03This patch fixes the following issue(s):- If you leave the room with the red curtains and the elevator in the Old Hotel through the door on the right after the countess says you can come up, the elevator will be locked again.
Story Mode2020-05-11This update adds a whole new "story mode" (which is actually just a fancy way of saying "easy difficulty setting") to the game. It's for all the people who want to experience Beyond a Total Loss for the story/humor/sexy dialogues/stellar graphics/god knows what, but don't want the hassle of actually PLAYING THE GAME. Well, that's not entirely true. You still have suffer the gameplay to some extent and you can still die in all kinds of horrible ways, but staying alive & murdering your enemies will be a lot, a lot, a lot easier. And that's it and that's all (except for a few superficial improvements).
April 2020 patch2020-04-21This patch fixes the following things: Not being able to pick something up when it's dropped in front of store owner Game crashes to desktop when choosing "Nevermind" after asking Warden to retrieve item Default clothing when upside down in meditation room
Character Customization Update2020-03-23This update introduces the feature to dress up John Harry any way you want! Grow a full beard, put on an aviator hat, a pink cat shirt or some plain old regular glasses! There's one caveat: you have to pay for your clothes/beards/hair/glasses/hats with booze. Yes, the same precious booze you also drink to get your health back. So now it's a choice between survival and looking pretty. This is all the stuff you can buy: 6 beards, moustaches and a clean shaven face 5 hairstyles (if you count a bald head as a hairstyle) 6 completely new clothes (although some may have been worn before) 2 never seen before glasses 4 hats (HATS!)

November 2019 patch2019-11-24Some stuff that was broken is now less broken or even NOT BROKEN AT ALL! How about that! I also wanted to let you guys now that the person responsible for all these bugs and mistakes has been given a raise and has also been promoted, because I think imcompetence is severely underrated in todays society and should be rewarded at every opportunity. Patch notes Game doesn't crash anymore when returning to "desert" room You're able to pick up items again after loading a quick save You can't drop items on certain locations anymore, in order to prevent conflicts with trying to operate stuff like the computer, etc. Dropped (base) cocktails don't tur
